One of the symptoms of axillary breast tissue is having pain in the underarm and the tissues become engorged, especially during pregnancy and breastfeeding. If the tissues are left as they are, they might continue to grow and become more problematic. Not to mention that it limits the choice of apparel, leads to poor arm posture, and causes excessive sweating and stickiness in the region.
In some cases, other conditions like lipomas, liposarcoma, cysts, or other skin issues may go undetected if the underarm lump is not treated on time. To prevent this from happening, it is important to see a doctor and get diagnosed.

There are several conditions that can be confused with axillary breasts, such as lymphadenopathy, lipoma, malignancy, sebaceous cyst, vascular malformation, etc.
For proper diagnosis, the doctor will first physically examine the tissues and suggest the following tests for an accurate diagnosis-

Liposuction
This technique is used to target the fat tissues in the targeted area. It allows the surgeon to precisely target the areas that can be treated with liposuction alone.
Excision
This method is used for small masses that can be easily removed through a small incision. The scalpel is used to excise the tissues carefully without leaving a big scar in the underarm region. The axillary breast tissue usually contains a fair number of glandular structures.
Axillaplasty (Combination of Excision & Liposuction)
This type of surgical procedure is preferred for a large mass. The procedure involves correcting the overhang of fat and skin in the armpit area.
